Corporate Sponsor for PCCHA Wagonhound Land & Livestock


By Charlotte Gorton The Pacific Coast Cutting Horse Association works


hard to put on quality events for its members, the industry and the public. But the Association is only as strong as its base of support, which importantly includes sponsorships. Wagonhound Land and Livestock has become part of the foundation that makes the PCCHA tick by becoming a Corporate Sponsor, and the PCCHA gratefully welcomes their support. General Manager, Dusty Ewing reflected on the value of sponsoring the PCCHA saying, “Wagonhound is proud to support the Pacific Coast Cutting Association through a corpo- rate sponsorship. The ranch strongly believes that it takes the entire equine community’s involvement through event partici- pation, sponsorships or volunteering to sustain associations; allowing the tradition we are all passionate for to grow and prosper for all those involved.” At this year’s Golden Hills Auto Center Futurity slat-


ed for October 24th – November 4th, Wagonhound Land & Livestock will boost the added money in the Open 5/6Year old from $25,000 to $35,000 added.. Wagonhound Land & Livestock is a working cattle


and horse ranch comprised of four divisions of Cattle, Horse, Farming and Outfitting. The historic ranch is situated on more


than 150,000 acres located in Douglas, Wyoming along the Laramie Range on the east edge of the Rocky Mountains. Known for its top American Quarter Horse and Red Angus breeding operations and elite hunting outfitters,Wagonhound Land and Livestock dates back to the 1800’s when cattle drives came up from Texas and pioneers traveled the Oregon Trail.As settlers moved across the land, a tough-to-cross creek became well-known as the Wagon Hound Creed because many wagons broke their hounds as they crossed. Today, this creek is located only yards from Wagonhound Headquarters, and the ranch brand, “quarter circle, bar, quarter circle,” is the territorial brand that loosely resembles a wagon hound. The Cattle division includes a foundation herd of


2,500 head producing some of the finest commercial Red Angus, selected and managed to produce high quality replace- ment heifers and the highest grade beef. The Farming division includes the production of approximate- ly 20,000 tons of premium alfalfa annually covering 4,000 acres and rotating crops of corn silage, barley hay, barley grain and oats.


People come from all over the world to experience


Wagonhound’s Outfitting Division, which is anchored by the trophy elk on the ranch, but there is also hunting for mule and whitetail deer, antelope, bear, waterfowl and turkey. Wagonhound Land and Livestock’s horse breeding


program consists of more than 150 American Quarter Horses with a broodmare band anchored by some of the most famous mares in the industry such as all-time leading reined cow


horse producer Kings Masterpiece,AQHAWorld Show Junior Cutting Top 5; Little Tenina, NCHA Open Futurity, Derby, Classic and World Finals Champion; A Smart Little Gal, an NCHA World Champion producer; Tassa Mia, an all-time leading cutting producer and dam of an NCHA Super Stakes Classic Open Champion as well as an NCHA World Champion, Dustin Ewing says, “Wagonhound’s objective is to raise high-quality ranch horses for both ranch use and that of the public. The strong, well-proven Quarter Horse pedigrees within the breeding program not only support this goal but also routinely produce horses with the ability and talent to compete successfully in the most prestigious cutting, reining, reined cow horse and ranch competitions.” Wagonhound also owns and breeds top notch stallions


such as WR This Cats Smart, a young sire whose get has already earned more than two million dollars in NCHA, NRCHA and AQHA events, as well as up and coming sire Genuine Masterpiece anAQHA&NRCHA Cow HorseWorld Champion. Ewing adds “Results of this program can be seen in the ranch’s remuda, which is comprised of horsemen’s hors- es with outstanding quality and conformation. Wagonhound continues to develop, grow and evolve in today’s ranching industry, remaining steadfast in maintaining the highest of standards.” The PCCHA would like to thankWagonhound Land&


Livestock for playing their role in helping the PCCHA also maintain their “highest of standards” by being a Corporate Sponsor.
